I will fight the endless fight, fight the evernight
Fight although I know I can’t defeat myself
I will try to break out of this bloody loop
Lock myself from everything and kill my inner demon

Scarred by life wounds so deep
Blood will never run dry
On the battlefield of emotions each one his own enemy
No great battles fought each one fights himself

Looking through these tired eyes
No hope no love no guiding light
Crying tears with tired eyes
No hope no love no guiding light

Before I’m pushed into the darkness I’d rather rise again

I will fight the endless fight, fight the evernight
Fight although I know I can’t defeat myself
I will try to break out of this bloody loop
Lock myself from everything and kill my inner demon

Before I’m pushed into the darkness I’d rather rise again

Track Name: Drowning In Sorrow

Like the lonesome wolf guardian of the night
Howling at the moon desperations cry
Disgusted by joy and peace forced to focus on my inner war
To banish the afflicting inner voice tear down the walls that were guarding it

Shattered by the burden of my heart
Lost without a sign of recovery
Nothing can bring back the light
I’m drowning in my own-chosen sorrow

I’m writhing in sorrow of a devastated soul
Begging for salvation, begging for a gleam of hope
I’m writhing in sorrow of a devastated soul
Begging for salvation, begging for a gleam of hope

Shattered by the burden of my heart
Lost without a sign of recovery
Nothing can bring back the light
I’m drowning in my own-chosen sorrow

Drowning in sorrow

Track Name: Apathy

From the shades of life into deeper darkness
Clouds are spreading out to the furthest corner
Anger hope and hate hide your feelings deep inside
What is left after all is only apathy

After fate stroked you down, down, down to the ground
When anger and pain are gone what will be left

Drifting through your life nothing to live, nothing to die for
Don't care about anything everytime and everywhere

From the shades of life into deeper darkness
Clouds are spreading out to the furthest corner
Anger hope and hate hide your feelings deep inside
What is left after all is only apathy

Drifting through your life nothing to live, nothing to die for
Don't care about anything everytime and everywhere

Anger hope and hate hide your feelings deep inside
What is left after all is only apathy

Track Name: Dead Waters

(Instrumental)

Track Name: Faceless

Born unknown, no hope at all, live alone, no way out here
Born unknown, no hope at all, no path to walk on

There’s no spark of hope for him in this world
He is a face without a name
No release, just orders to follow
His dreams, just dirt so hollow

Born unknown, no hope at all, live alone, no way out here
Born unknown, no hope at all, no path to walk on

Where is justice worthless, without a meaning
He’s feeling nothing his eyes are like glass
Who is the god, who lets this happen
To him just a face without a name

Born unknown, no hope at all, live alone, no way out here
Born unknown, no hope at all, no path to walk on

This world is nothing to be proud of
A place where no one is of value

Born unknown, no hope at all, no path to walk on

Track Name: I Am King

In the storm of human tides there’s a man whose world collides
A kingdom of discrepancies and I am it’s king

He looks into the mirror his vision dies in tears
Visible the weakness hidden behind his eyes
What was once buried within now brought to light
He can tell lies to others but how to fool himself

In the storm of human tides there’s a man whose world collides
A kingdom of discrepancies and I am it’s king

He looks into the mirror covered in blood
Visible the open wounds cuts so deep
But he tries to cross the line to a life that’s worth
Through the storm and through the pain until there’s no one to blame

What to do now to wake up from this nightmare
Smashing the thin glass to never see his eyes again
Resign to a condemned life and hope to resist

Despising the truth of the blank reflection
No life that is worth it’s name just another source of pain

Track Name: Masks

Masks to hide what I am
To never show my face
I have forgotten the beneath
A facade has become my home

My opposing forces merged into one
A dull projection is all I have become

Masks to hide what I am
To never show my face
I have forgotten the beneath
A facade has become my home

My heart detests what I am now
Settled between these walls
I throne this tenebrous realm
Join me in my masked ball

Masks to hide what I am
To never show my face
I have forgotten the beneath
A facade has become my home

My heart detests what I am now
Settled between these walls
I throne this tenebrous realm
Join me in my masked ball

Track Name: The Absence Of Light

A journey through the darkend pathway
All left behind now ambling in apathy
Gripping on to the last true notion
Echoing unrelentingly in self-excitation
Every word said and every action executed
Reverberating painfully clarity diluted
The only things I see clearly through the blur
Are lights of all the memories that were

Are there colors in this world of black and white
Will I be able to see them when I enter the night

A journey through the darkend pathway
All left behind now ambling in apathy
Gripping on to the last true notion
Echoing unrelentingly in self-excitation
Every word said and every action executed
Reverberating painfully clarity diluted
The only things I see clearly through the blur
Are lights of all the memories that were

Why is everything so harsh and cold
Why can’t I feel the warmth of life

The sunlight burns my face but the shadows hide my scars
I surrender to my faults to find tranquility in another life
I will persist in the absence of light

Track Name: Surrogate Of A New World

Today I will set out into new realms, to a new life, reborn
As the darkness that crawls into my mind
The surrogate of a new world no more anguish within me

I won’t fear it any longer the void and me become one
Guiding me into a new era where all lights fade

This black light embraces me the shadows so comfortably cold
With closed eyes I am awaiting the journey to begin

Today I will set out into new realms, to a new life, reborn
As the darkness that crawls into my mind
The surrogate of a new world no more anguish within me

No remorse to leave this world
Look ahead it’s not the end

Today I will set out into new realms, to a new life, reborn
As the darkness that crawls into my mind
The surrogate of a new world no more anguish within me

Track Name: Dawn Of The Black Light

Though I walk through the darkest valley I fear no evil but I fear the light
Done with the everlasting conflict I have finally resigned to fight
Floating with an unreflected mind through calm waters of the night
Absorbing the darkness around me in peace I am with this plight

Cartharsis deliquent and redemption barred
Dreading the way back my epiphany lies in the dark

The void soflty grips me and lures me in its arms
To devour my soul and leave my flesh behind
My aimless wandering has ended at this scene
Into the abyss I transcend mentally refined

In gentle motion I descend into the maelstrom
Into the dawn of the black light invoking my own doom

Invoking my own doom into the dawn of the black light

Nothing and nobody shall follow me through the days of my life
And forever I will fall into the dawn of the black light

Though I walk through the darkest valley I fear no evil but I fear the light
Done with the everlasting conflict I have finally resigned to fight
Floating with an unreflected mind through calm waters of the night
Absorbing the darkness around me in peace I am with this plight

Track Name: Tranquility

Close your eyes the colours they fade
Don’t hold on no love no hate

Nothing remains the same the beauty that once was is gone now
And everything you’ve ever loved is worth and meaningless, no light no darkness
Who is going to care about, who has ever cared, there is no one and there has never been

Close your eyes the colours they fade
Don’t hold on no love no hate

The chains are broken, eternal tranquility
Everything is coming to an end
That is how life is meant

Close your eyes the colours they fade
Don’t hold on no love no hate
Feel the void releasing you
Oppressiveness taken away

The chains are broken, eternal tranquility
Everything is coming to an end
That is how life is meant
